Celebrate 10 years of JPII Newman!

You and your guests are invited to become a student for a night at the JPII Newman Center.

Friday, October 3, 2025

5:30 pm Mass in the Oratory

This is the heart of our mission. Join us to celebrate Mass and hear the JPII Newman Choir. Traffic is a bear at that house, so if you can’t make it for Mass, just come at 6:15pm!

6:15pm Social and Program in the Courtyard

Enjoy drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and entertainment under the tents.

Hear from honorees Suzie and Mike Lawler, students and alumni about how their time at JPII Newman is changing their lives. An invitation to join us on mission will be extended.

Stay into the night for dessert, drinks and more live music!

Around our fireplaces, a community is built—one of faith, friendship, and belonging. We’d love to share that feeling with you and your friends. Join us on Friday, October 3rd, in keeping the fire burning—for faith, for fellowship, for the future.
